Like many technological devices, you can get creative when it comes to a projector. With these suggestions, you can actually use the device on so many activities regarding art, entertainment, or even just decorative purposes, so here are some things you can do.
Use It as a Window
Since projectors are used to show a wider display, some users on the internet decided to use them as a live or themed window. All you have to do is point it at a plain and preferably white wall, dim the lights, and your imagination is your limit.
There are those who project images of a jungle, while others have more out-of-this-world ideas and project images of space to pretend as if they're in a spacecraft. Others put on moving underwater videos to make it look like they are under the sea.
For Tracing Artworks or Murals
Painting a large-scale artwork or mural can be quite daunting, especially since it would be harder to adjust the dimensions when you're turning a small picture into a painting on an entire wall. You can easily do so by projecting the image on the wall you want to paint on and tracing the outlines so you will have a guide.
Portable Theater
There are projectors that you can connect via laptop, smartphone, or through USBs, or SD cards. With that being said, you can basically have a theater experience anywhere, provided that the place is dark enough and you have a sheet to project the display on.
This provides you with a lot of possibilities when it comes to watching movies or shows in places you don't usually do it in. For instance, you can purchase a large white sheet and bring it with you in your car. You can watch movies under the stars on a camping trip if you want.
Holiday Themed Projections
You can use your projector to display various holiday-themed videos during the holidays like Christmas, New Year's Eve, or Halloween. On Halloween, you can set up the projector in front of your house and play scary videos all night, or project fireworks during New Year's Eve. This will add a flair to your holiday decor and will surely catch the attention of your neighbors.
Improve Room Ambiance
Although the live window is already a cool enough idea, you can expand that and use the device to improve the ambiance in your room by projecting the display in a bigger space like your entire ceiling. You can search for videos of the Milky Way, swimming jellyfish, shooting stars, the northern lights, and more.
Large-Scale Gaming
Sure, you can play games on a TV display, but projectors can still outsize TVs since some models can project up to the size of an actual movie theater. This will make for a more immersive gaming experience.
Although, make sure to buy the right kind of projector since some of them are not well-suited for gaming. Latency can become an issue and for competitive gamers, a millisecond of delay can mean victory or defeat.
